Prairie Dog Hunt Pro '97 is a single player shooter. It is the fourth game in Diversions Software's Prairie Dog series.

The North American burrowing rodents are still infesting the plains and grasslands and this game is all about blasting as many of them as possible. Gameplay is pretty much the same as in the previous game, Prairie Dog Hunt Pro where aiming and shooting is mouse controlled but the keyboard is used to reload and vary the scope's magnification.

The game still has three levels of difficulty and 360 degrees of fire, but now the graphics have been improved and the weapons have been upgraded to include a rifle, a shotgun, a laser and grenades. This version of the game has an optional wind element that can blow a shot off target.
